Re: [Swftools-common] pdf2swf

Hi, Chris and all.

I cannot get good results only font config settings.
I need to fix a bug (maybe).

/swftools-0.9.1/lib/pdf/GFXOutputDev.cc line 499-506

    if(style) {
        msg("<debug> FontConfig: Looking for font %s (family=%s style=%s)",
name, family, style);
        pattern = FcPatternBuild(NULL, FC_OUTLINE, FcTypeBool, FcTrue,
FC_SCALABLE, FcTypeBool, FcTrue, FC_FAMILY, FcTypeString, family,
FC_STYLE, FcTypeString, style, NULL);
    } else {
        msg("<debug> FontConfig: Looking for font %s (family=%s)", name, 
family);
        pattern = FcPatternBuild(NULL, FC_OUTLINE, FcTypeBool, FcTrue,
FC_SCALABLE, FcTypeBool, FcTrue, FC_FAMILY, FcTypeString, family,
NULL);
    }
    pattern = FcPatternBuild(NULL, FC_OUTLINE, FcTypeBool, FcTrue,
FC_SCALABLE, FcTypeBool, FcTrue, FC_FAMILY, FcTypeString, family,
NULL);

I think this is a bug. If font has a style, "pattern" variable is
overriden just after if/else statement.
I comment out this statement and re-compile.

I've checked development snapshot swftools-2011-10-10-1647, structure
and filename is changed but same statement is still there.
/swftools-2011-10-10-1647/lib/pdf/CharOutputDev.cc line 380-387

Go Furukawa
